Frequently Asked Questions
How do I transcribe an Instagram Reel?
Copy the public Reel URL, paste it into the link box above, and select Transcribe. FastTranscriber imports the video audio and turns the spoken words into text.
Can I transcribe private Instagram posts?
No. The Reel or video must be publicly accessible without signing in. For private content you are allowed to use, download the video and switch to the Upload file tab.
Do Instagram carousel posts work?
Use a direct link to a single Reel or video post. If a carousel contains multiple media items, download the specific video you are allowed to use and upload it directly.
Can I export Instagram captions as SRT?
Yes. Export the completed transcript as timestamped SRT for captions or TXT for editable plain text.
What if a public Instagram link cannot be imported?
Instagram availability, rate limits, or access challenges can occasionally block a public URL. If you are allowed to use the video, download it and switch to the Upload file tab.
